The Catalina featured the same standard eqiuipment as the year before, and also came equipped with full wheel discs and rocker molding options.

1964 Pontiac Catalina

In 1964, Catalinas got a refreshment. They were about an inch longer even though they looked shorter. They had side moldings running from the rear of the front wheel opening to the rear, "Catalina" front fender scripts, and series medallions on the rear fenders. They still had the same standard equipment as the year before but many came with full wheel discs and rocker molding options. The Catalina 2+2 option package was available (2347, 2367) and the Ventura trim package was an interior decor group (2339, 2347, 2367).

Axle Codes

Location Of Axle Codes: Color Markings on flange end
of axle shaft and by ratio stamped on right hand axle tube. (For example:
if 43-10 is stamped on the axle tube it is a 4.30:1 ratio. Just divide the
first number by the second number to give you the ratio.)

NOTES: The first letter of a two-letter paint code identifies the body
color. The second letter identifies the roof color. (For example,
the combination FW on a Pontiac would indicate the body finished
in Yorktown Blue Metallic and the roof area in Nocturne Bleu Metallic.)
General Motors paint code plate for all models except Corvair and
Corvette is located under the hood at the top of the firewall on
the left or right of the upper shroud. Corvair paint code plate
is on the left rear wheel housing. Corvette paint code plate is
under the dash, below the glove compartment.

NOTE: Unrubbed
LUCITE® will generally produce a gloss comparable to original
unrubbed interior semi-gloss finishes. If lower gloss is required,
use DuPont #4528 flattening compound to reduce gloss. This can be
approximately 10%.
